Privacy Policy for Security+ SY0-701 Exam Prep

This Privacy Policy explains how Niche Apps ("we," "us," or "our") handles information in Security+ SY0-701 Exam Prep / Security+ SY0-701 Practice Test (the "App").

The App is designed as an offline-first study tool with no account requirement. The iOS version may include advertising through Google Mobile Ads and may request App Tracking Transparency permission where required by Apple.

---

1. Summary

• You can use the App without creating an account.
• Core study content is bundled in the App for offline use.
• Study progress, bookmarks, preferences, missed-question history, and similar data are stored locally on your device.
• We do not operate a backend account system for the App.
• The iOS version may show ads through Google Mobile Ads.
• On iOS, the App may request Apple's App Tracking Transparency ("ATT") permission before accessing the advertising identifier for tracking or personalized advertising.
• Some App content is AI-generated or AI-assisted and may not always be accurate, complete, or current.

2. Information You Provide

The App does not require you to create an account, enter a name, provide an email address, or submit study answers to us.

If you contact us for support by email or another external channel, we may receive the information you choose to provide, such as your email address, message content, device details, screenshots, crash descriptions, or other information relevant to your request.

3. Information Stored Locally on Your Device

The App may store the following information locally on your device:

• Quiz answers, scores, missed-question state, and readiness indicators.
• Bookmarked questions or flashcards.
• Flashcard learning or mastery state.
• Study tab state, onboarding completion, theme settings, font size, reduce-motion settings, and similar preferences.

This local study data is used to operate App features and personalize your study experience on your device. We do not receive this local study data through our own backend because the App does not currently use an account or sync service.

Deleting the App may delete locally stored App data, subject to your device operating system, backups, and restore settings.

4. Advertising, ATT, and Device Identifiers

The iOS version of the App may use Google Mobile Ads to display ads. Advertising partners may collect or receive information from your device, such as:

• Advertising identifiers, including Apple's Identifier for Advertisers ("IDFA") if you grant ATT permission.
• Device and app information, such as device type, operating system, app version, language, general location derived from IP address, ad interactions, and diagnostics.
• Data used to deliver, limit, personalize, and measure ads, depending on your permissions and platform settings.

On iOS 14.5 and later, the App may show Apple's ATT prompt before allowing tracking across apps or websites owned by other companies. If you allow tracking, Google Mobile Ads and its partners may use the IDFA and related information for personalized ads and measurement. If you deny tracking, the App will not access the IDFA for tracking, but you may still see ads that are contextual, less personalized, or measured in privacy-preserving ways.

You can change your ATT choice later in iOS Settings. You can also manage ad personalization choices through Apple, Google, and device-level privacy settings.

The Android version may differ by release. If advertising is added or enabled on Android, advertising and device identifiers may be handled according to Google Play policies, Google Mobile Ads policies, and your Android privacy settings.

5. AI-Generated and AI-Assisted Content

Some or all study content in the App may be generated by or created with assistance from artificial intelligence tools. This may include practice questions, explanations, flashcards, acronyms, study guides, examples, tips, and related educational material.

The App does not require you to send prompts, chat messages, or personal study responses to an AI service. The content is bundled into the App for study use.

AI-generated and AI-assisted educational content can contain mistakes, omissions, outdated details, or imperfect explanations. You should verify important information with official CompTIA resources and other trusted sources.

6. Content, Certification, and Trademark Notice

The App is an independent study tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or approved by CompTIA. CompTIA, Security+, and related marks are trademarks of their respective owners.

The App does not guarantee exam success, certification, employment outcomes, or professional competence.

7. Third-Party Services

The App may interact with third-party services or platforms, including:

• Apple App Store, iOS, ATT, and related Apple services.
• Google Play, Android, and related Google services.
• Google Mobile Ads, where ads are enabled.
• Email or support tools if you contact us outside the App.

These third parties may process information according to their own privacy policies and terms. We do not control their independent privacy practices.

8. Data Sharing

We do not sell personal information through our own backend system.

We may share or disclose information in the following limited situations:

• With service providers or platform partners that help operate, distribute, advertise, diagnose, or support the App.
• If required by law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable government request.
• To protect the rights, safety, and security of users, the App, third parties, or us.
• In connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar business transaction.

Advertising partners may process device and advertising data as described in their own policies, subject to your device permissions and privacy settings.

9. Data Retention

Local study data remains on your device until you delete it through App features, reset related settings where available, or delete the App, subject to operating system backups and restores.

Support communications may be retained for as long as needed to respond to your request, maintain business records, comply with legal obligations, and improve support.

Advertising and platform data are retained by the relevant third parties according to their own policies.

10. Children

The App is intended for users preparing for a professional certification exam and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through our own backend. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us so we can take appropriate steps.

11. Your Choices

Depending on your device and region, you may be able to:

• Delete the App to remove locally stored App data from your device.
• Change ATT permission in iOS Settings.
• Limit ad personalization in Apple, Google, or device settings.
• Contact us to request access, correction, or deletion of personal information you previously provided directly to us, such as support emails.

12. Security

We use reasonable measures designed to protect information we handle. However, no app, device, platform, or transmission method is completely secure. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your device, operating system account, backups, and app store account.

13. International Users

The App may be available in multiple countries. Third-party services, app stores, advertising partners, and support channels may process information in countries other than where you live. Privacy laws may differ by location.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be effective when posted or made available through the App, app store listing, or our website. Your continued use of the App after an update means you acknowledge the updated Privacy Policy.
